Kranks

If you like Nazareth and have ever seen them live, this is the CD to get. SNAZ is great, but this is even better. I always wanted to hear Miss Misery live. The version on this CD is better than I ever imagined. When's the new US tour?

Pull out some rockin' chairs

Made in GER in 2002, Serial# EAG-CD-204, Playing Time 72:02

First, the good news: save your money, this release will be available domestically instead of an expensive import...

Now, the bad news (and lots of them!): Even though this live album, recorded in their homeland's Glasgow, is very well recorded indeed in an intimate setting of a club with a capacity of about 600, the McCAFFERTY-AGNEW BAND (i just can't call them Nazareth any longer...) seems to have lost all of its dynamic movement.

It's been 20 years since the release of their previous official live album ('snaz), and the years gone by haven't been particularly kind to the band. The song selection is quite original, going all the way back to the Razamanaz era (early 70's!), but the renditions often lack the "crunch" and enthusiasm that makes this band an interesting live act.

Some of the songs do get a "fresh" treatment ("My White Bicycle" comes to mind), but there's this sense of "slow motion" or "burn out" transpiring through a lot of the material... Lee Agnew (bassist Pete's son) tries to energize the rest of the band with some serious drum pounding on tracks like "Razamanaz", but you can tell there's a generation gap there.

All in all, it makes for an interesting document, mostly because we get to hear some often interesting though quite different arrangements; I believe it might even have worked better if the concert would have been performed in an "un-plugged" setting.

The songs are great, but the performances somewhat tired.

Wait for the domestic release, and approach with an open mind...

Still Rockin'

After many years & countless tour dates Nazareth records a "LIVE"
one back home. With energy & enthusiasm of early Naz, they play their brand of good rockin' tunes just like the old days! Great set list including all the standards, some ballads and some new stuff. Throughout the CD Dan McCafferty's razor sharp vocals are something Axl Rose (G'n'R) will always strive to match. For a Naz fan this is a five star effort and for those less familiar an
easy 4+. Let the party begin! Cheers!

STILL ROCKING THE WORLD

This is a great live cd, nazareth is still alive and kicking,
the sound on this cd is very good and you can tell that nazareth is still one of the best hard rock bands, they played songs from there new cd Boogaloo and they go way back with Hair of the dog and Razamanaz,if you ever liked Nazareth you will love this cd.
and it will be out on DVD.
